Important
It is possible that the main title of the report Dilatation of the Pulmonary Artery, Idiopathic is not the name you expected.
Dilatation
After the cervix begins to efface, it will also begin to open (cervical dilatation).
Cervical dilatation is expressed in centimeters from 0 to 10. Zero means that the cervix is closed, and 10 means that it is completely dilated.
Dilatation: the enlarging of the cervix to 10 centimeters.

Dilatation and Evacuation technique is suitable for the pregnancy between 15 to 24 weeks and usually carried out under general anaesthetic asleep condition.
Dilatation
The cervix needs to open to allow the baby to pass through into the vagina. This is known as dilatation. A fully dilated cervix has opened approximately 10cm.
Dilatation ~ aka opening of the cervix ~ Dilatation is the process of your cervix opening up to allow for passage of the baby. Full dilatation is 10 centimeters.

Procedure Overview
What is a dilation and curettage (D&C)?
D&C (dilatation and curettage): Surgical procedure in which the cervix is dilated and the lining of the uterus is scraped.
Developmental delay: Condition in which the development of the baby or child is slower than normal.
Dilatation and curettage is sometimes done in the presence of a clearly abnormal HCG pattern, combined with abnormal ultrasound findings, to confirm or rule out ectopic pregnancy.

Dilation, or dilatation, is the name given to the gradual opening of the cervix during labour. If your cervix is around 10cm, it means that you fully dilated and ready to have the baby.

Painless cervical dilatation in the 2nd trimester often followed by premature delivery of the fetus. This can sometimes be diagnosed early on with the use of an ultrasound .
D & C (dilatation & curettage)- A minor surgical procedure in which the doctor dilates or opens the cervix and then inserts a thin, spoon-shaped instrument and uses it to remove material from the internal lining of the uterus.

Cervical dilatation on presentation for preterm labor and subsequent preterm birth.
If an ectopic pregnancy is suspected, blood hormone tests, pelvic ultrasound, dilatation and curettage (D&C), and laparoscopy can be used to help confirm the diagnosis.
The next portion of the first stage of labor is the active phase, which is the phase of the most rapid cervical dilatation. For most women this is from 3 to 4 centimeters of dilatation until 8 to 9 centimeters of dilatation.
" The two most popular ways of doing this are Endometrial Biopsy ("EMB"), and Dilatation and Curettage ("D & C"). With an EMB, a thin, flexible, sterile straw is passed beyond the point from which a Pap smear is obtained.
The first stage of labour is also called the stage of dilatation. The second stage lasts from the full dilatation of the cervix until the baby is completely out of the birth canal and has been born.
A procedure known as anal dilatation may need to be performed periodically to help stretch the anal muscles so stool can pass through.

Babies with this type of malformation will have the membrane removed in surgery.
Studies have found that if surgical dilatation of the cervix is performed, the risk of CI depends upon the number and degree of dilatation used.
Your cervix begins to thin and open (cervical effacement and dilatation). Your health professional checks for this during your prenatal examinations.
Braxton Hicks contractions become more frequent and stronger, perhaps a little painful.
The premature infant brain imaged in Figure 4 had an early IVH demonstrating mild ventricular dilatation.
Early fetal demise may be managed with laminaria insertion followed by dilatation and extraction.
Holding your breath and fighting contractions can actually hinder dilatation and labor, and be more painful by depriving your uterus of oxygen and creating tension. Position is very important in the birth process.
While it is common practice not to initiate an epidural block prior to 3 to 5cm cervical dilatation, one study suggests that getting an epidural block at or before 3cm dilatation does not increase the risk of c-section, forceps, or vacuum delivery, ...
Women are not usually aware of cervical dilatation, the stretching and opening of the entrance to the uterus, and cervical dilatation can only be measured by a health practitioner during a pelvic examination.
Runs of Braxton Hicks' contractions may become more frequent and intense as real labour approaches, helping to prepare the cervix for dilatation, and to increase the circulation of blood to the placenta.
Some women need an operation called a dilatation and curette (D&C) to remove the remaining tissue. This is done under a general anaesthetic.
The first stage of labor is characterized by dilatation of the cervix with descent of the fetal head into the pelvis. The first stage of labor is divided into a latent phase (early labor) and an active phase (active labor).
Varicocele: An abnormal dilatation of the veins surrounding the testes. They are present in 25% of infertile males. Because of this blood pooling, testicular temperature is raised, which is detrimental to sperm.
The second phase of the first stage (active phase) is signaled by the dilatation of the cervix from 4 to 7 centimeters. Contractions become longer, more severe, and more frequent (usually 3 to 4 minutes apart).
Hormones are also to blame for dilatation (widening) of the tiny blood vessels in your nose, a change that increases the chance of nosebleeds. This enhanced blood supply may also cause increased mucus production, so your nose is always runny.
Dilation: The process of enlargement, stretching, or expansion. The word "dilatation" means the same thing. Both come from the Latin "dilatare" meaning "to enlarge or expand."

Five characteristics will be examined and include: cervical dilatation, cervical effacement, cervical consistency, cervical position and fetal station.
To remove any retained tissue, the doctor performs a D & C (dilatation and curettage).

The fetus and contents of the uterus are often naturally expelled. If this process does not occur, a procedure called a dilatation and curettage (D&C) may be necessary. This procedure uses special instruments to remove the abnormal pregnancy.
If preterm labor is impossible to control at home, the mother may be hospitalized and medication used to attempt to control contractions and dilatation of the cervix.
allows the leakage of blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The amount of leakage depends on the degree of deformation of the mitral valve. With time, a significant cleft in the mitral valve can result in the enlargement (dilatation) ...
